My Queue Page


My Queue Page The My Queue page lists your assignments, such as education modules, certification questionnaires, and surveys. The assignments are grouped by type (Mandatory, Select any, Optional, and so on). Within each group, the assignments appear in the order in which they’re due, with the most urgent at the top.

If your assignments include a Select any group, you have a choice of modules to take to complete the assignment. For example, the Select any group may contain three modules, but you can complete it by taking any two of them. A message appears for each Select any assignment to help you track your progress in completing it (for example, “Complete 2 of 3 items from the list below: 1 REMAINING”).

If a module is part of a module chain (a sequence that you must take in a particular order), a chain icon appears on each module listing along with a counter indicating its position in the chain (such as “1/3”). As you complete each module in the chain, the next module in the chain becomes active.

To get to the My Queue page:

1. Select the My Queue link on the left.

OR

Select >> Go to My Queue in the My status area. Depending on how your site is customized, the My status area may not appear below the navigation links on the left.

The My Queue page offers two formats, a list view and an image view (see below). Depending on how your site is customized, you may see a simple list of modules or a detailed view that includes a module description and image you can click to view the module. If your site is configured to allow you to switch between these two formats, a button appears at the top of the page.

Reports Page


Reports Page The Reports page displays charts with module completion data that you can use to track the progress of your Education program. Not all sites offer the Reports page.

Like other aspects of the Catalyst Console site, the Reports page is customizable. The charts that it offers and the data that they display have been tailored to your company’s specific needs by your site administrator.

If a learner completes a module more than once, the charts only include the first successful completion for the selected campaigns.

The charts also take module equivalence into account. For example, a learner who has started the same module in two languages might have an “In Progress” status for both language versions. However, the charts only include the most recent “In Progress” status.

To get to the Reports page:

1. Select the Reports link on the left. The Reports page populates with the available charts and module completion data. The data that displays in the charts is based on the viewer hierarchy that is set up on your site. Some data may not be available in the charts.

If you are assigned as a proxy to view someone else’s reports, the View as drop-down menu enables you to select a person’s name to view their reports; otherwise, this menu is disabled.

To view the report data as someone else:

1. Select a person’s name from the View as drop-down menu. To view your own data, select your name. The report data refreshes on the page.

Reports Page


In addition to the features described above, the charts may offer additional “drill-down” details and export options.

To view more detailed data:

1. Click to view more detailed report data.

A page appears with more complete information about the module completion status or user progress. If “drill-down” details are enabled for the report, a Report Details section appears at the bottom of the page beneath the chart as illustrated in the figure below.

2. (Optional) To drill down further and view report details for a particular user or status, click a specific bar or area of the chart. For example, to view details for only the completed modules, click the “Complete” status in the chart.

The Report Details section updates to match the selected user or status. As shown in the example below, clicking the “Complete” status in the chart displays detailed data for users who have modules that are complete.
